Tiptop Z-DSP - Manual (Page 4)

Introduction.
Welcome to the world of digital signal processing!
The Z-DSP is a modular synthesizer component that
can process and generate audio using a dedicated
micro-computer, a digital signal processing processor –
a DSP!
Like the processor in your desktop computer, the
Z-DSP runs programs in memory. It’s these programs
that create the delays, filters, oscillators and more that
the Z-DSP can produce. The possibilities are virtually
endless, limited only by the imagination of those who
write the applications for it. Tiptop Audio, together with
some of the best known programmers in the music
industry, are working to bring programs to the Z-DSP
platform.
The Z-DSP uses an open-source coding environment,
and using a programmer (available from Tiptop/Spin
Semiconductor) anyone can create, share or sell their
own applications for the Z-DSP. We hope that this
unique feature will motivate more designers and users
to dive in to the amazing world of digital signal
processing and enrich the available library of
applications for the Z-DSP platform. Please contact us
for more information regarding obtaining a programmer.
